Story
She is a single mom with two adult children living with her and her elderly adult uncle. She has worked for the Court system for over 35 years. She has been able to keep her hours at work, but needed to take some time after the fires due to housing placement by her insurance down in the OC. Her home that she has been in for over 20 years was completely burned down, losing everything. She is living in temporary housing where she has 10 more months on her lease. She is paying her mortgage still and now have an increased payment in rent. They lost everything in their house and are still needing to purchase clothing and necessities for all 4 adults in the family. She was able to put in a claim for her insurance on the loss. She is still pending on payments, but was able to receive a partial payment for the contents of the house, but that went towards getting items for their housing (beds, couch, kitchen table, dressers, etc.). They are still needing to get more clothing and household items. Since the fires, she and one son both had their cars totaled and so between that and still needing to have the necessities, with the added increased rent and still paying on the house, they are looking for some assistance to help pay for the clothing and items that are needed.
